Answer:

The percent increase of the second year is 400%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let the population of birds was x.

After 2 years the population becomes 7 times more than before.

Therefore, after 2 years population is 7x.

In first year increase in the population was 40%.

Population after 1st year = x + 40% of x

Population after 1st year = x + 0.40x

Population after 1st year = 1.4x

The population increase from 1st year to 2nd year is: 7x-1.4x=5.6x

Thus the percentage increase is:

\% increase=\frac{5.6x}{1.4x}\times100=400\%

Hence, in second year the population of birds increase by 400%.

Given that ΔPQR is similar to ΔPTS, which statement MUST be true? A) m∠PST = m∠QPR B) m∠TPS = m∠RPQ C) m∠SPT = m∠PTS D) m∠PRQ =
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangle are similar if their corresponding sides are in the same proportion or the corresponding angles are same.

It is given that the ΔPQR is similar to ΔPTS. It means all corresponding angles are same.

\angle R=\angle S

\angle Q=\angle T

\angle P=\angle P

Angle P can be defined as

\angle QPR=\angle TPS

\angle RPQ=\angle TPS

Therefore option B is correct.

\angle PST\neq\angle QPR

\angle SPT\neq\angle PTS

\angle PRQ\neq\angle PTS

Therefore option A, C and D are incorrect.

Answer:

3 are mushed

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 12 tomatoes

All but 9 get mushed

Total tomatoes = mushed + non mushed

12 = mushed +9

Subtract 9 from each side

12-9 = mushed+9-9

12-9 = mushed

3 = mushed
